Chapter 18 Managing Firewall Web Filter Rules
Configuring Web Filter Rules for IOS Devices
When you configure web filter rules, also configure web filter settings in the Firewall > Settings > Web
Filter policy. The settings identify the web filtering server and contain other settings that control the
overall functioning of the policy. For example, you can use the settings policy to allow all web traffic if
the filtering server becomes unavailable. For more information, see Web Filter Settings Page,
page 18-16.
Tip You can also configure web filtering as a zone based firewall rule. For more information, see Zone-based
Firewall Rules Page, page 21-57.
